Both pak64 and pak128 (not Britain) work in multiplayer. Pak64 is more newbie friendly while pak128 feels more advanced. Both have problems, such as pak64 convoys having issues late game and pak128 industry producing/consuming far too much product. Until industry retirement/upgrading is added I doubt pak128 Britain (despite its latest balancing attempts) will work well without constant admin attention to replace industries as they upgrade.

Every Pakset works in multiplayer, since multiplayer functionality is provided by the game itself, not the pakset.
But vzrenggamini said on facebook:
Quote"but i didnt see " Conncted to server " icon on top right bottom simutrans window"

Since the only buttons with icons are in the custom menu, I guess his problem ist that most paksets miss that button. I don't know how this relates to setting up a server since I never had to do it, but maybe someone else can explain how to do it without that button.

Vahicle routing features is main priority and performance.. thanks

Both pak64 and pak128 are good for multiplayer, especially when pay for distance is set to 0 (between stops). Pak64 is more newbie friendly and generally feels more polished than 128 which has several easily noticed flaws. Pak128 is significantly harder, to the point that people noticeably try to exploit game mechanics more but it does offer potentially more to the player with its elevated ways and larger convoy selection range.

Reality is that Simutrans lacks a very well "polished" pakset at the moment. There are dozens of issues with pak64 and 128 that I could sprout off the top of my head. Be it bugs, balance issues, usability or simply missing features.

Simutrans has a multiplayer version, if somebody hosts a server. I want to host a server version compatible with an Ubuntu release.
Will it overload my server's CPU and memory?
Is my network connection adequate?

Mac, Windows and Ubuntu releases should work on Mac, Windows and Ubuntu servers.

What is are your servers specifications?

What is your network connection speed/type/reliability?

The CPU will always do. Memory should be at least 512 MB. But any VPS server could host games (the earliest server games on pak 64 were hosted on a 512 MB VPS without problems until 512x512 map size). If you can run normal simutrasn, you can run a server which even consumes less meory and CPU.

More critical is network connections. You need a fast upload, a common ADSL will lead to loand joining times.
